Examples of foliated rocks include: gneiss, phyllite, schist, and slate Non-foliated metamorphic rocks do not have a layered or banded appearance. Examples of nonfoliated rocks include: hornfels, marble, novaculite, quartzite, and skarn. Photographs and brief descriptions of some common types...
What is the difference between foliated and nonfoliated metamorphic rocks? Which foliated rock is the lowest grade metamorphic rock? What are some examples of metamorphic rocks? What is a foliated rock? A foliated metamorphic rock forms when crystals do what?
Foliated metamorphic rocksare a type ofmetamorphic rockthat has a banded or layered appearance. This banding is caused by the alignment of mineral grains in the rock, which is a result of the high pressure and directed stress that the rock was subjected to during metamorphism. The formation of...

Metamorphic rocksPoint load index strength of rock samples is a simple method to estimate the compressive strength of the rock and has been studied by a host of researchers in terms of linear correlations. Although the strength of the rocks has been proven to vary with change in foliation ...
Whole-rock Pb isotopic compositions of the high-pressure (HP) metamorphic rocks, consisting of two-mica albite gneisses and eclogites, and foliated granites from the HP metamorphic unit of the Tongbai-Dabie orogenic belt are firstly reported in this paper. The results show that the HP ...
The foliated granites, intruded in the HP metamorphic rocks post the HP/UHP metamorphism, have 206Pb/204 Pb= 17. 128- 17. 434,207Pb/204pb=15. 313-15. 422 and 208Pb/204pb=37. 631-38. 122, which are obviously different from the Pb isotopic compositions of the HP metamorphic rocks ...
